James Kirk is prepared to start a new business. He researched what is required of an entrepreneur. He created a business plan, he found a way to finance this enterprise, he decided on a business structure and learned the mechanics of running a business.

As much as he has prepared, running a business isn’t easy. Work-related pressure can lead to a host of stress-induced problems: headaches, sleepless nights, irritability, weight gain and lost productivity. Common sources of stress: excessive workloads, concerns about making money, fears about making payroll, under-performing customers’ expectations, and feeling increased pressure to succeed.
